Frequently Asked Questions
CPT 73502 reports an X-ray of one hip, with the pelvis when performed, using 2 or 3 views. A single view is 73501, and 4 or more views is 73503.
Bilateral hip X-rays use 73521 to 73523, depending on the number of views, and include the pelvis when it is imaged.
Imaging codes such as CPT 73502 split into a professional component (modifier 26, the physician's interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, the equipment, staff and supplies). A global claim covers both. A radiologist reading for a hospital usually bills only the professional component, so compare rates for the same component.
